Yea that's helpful, also sometimes teammates will spot them but generally no one will.

So you gotta do it yourself, generally in RUSH, you can pretty much guess where they might be coming from and try to spot them in hot areas.

Once you get air radar for your jet, keep it, nothing else is better imo (unless you just don't care about spotting enemies). There are other useful things in that tier but I've come back to air radar. Your minimap becomes as big as your regular map that you see during death or when you press start (but it's still bite-dized...meaning it's not all over your screen, everything is just shrunk down).

You will know where air and land vehicles are at all times. It's very very very useful. Especially during dogfights.

Air radar won't spot things for you but you will know the general location and then you can spot vehicles yourself, then go for the kill.

Unless you're going straight at the jet, you're toast no matter how fast you're going. It's pointless if you're going away from the jet because the bullets will hit you no matter what.

I totally agree with that. I stopped playing normal mode because some things are just too overpowered and feel like cheating. It's way too easy to take out a tank right now. Especially if you've played flight games before.

Hardcore can be annoying sometimes but at the same time, it feels more paced and realistic to me. Tanks can be a huge problem in hardcore mode. Though at the same time, I wish they had kept the spotting system in hardcore mode or at least given that ability to MAV or air vehicles...a jet is pretty useless without spotting.

THOUGH, you can use stuff like guided missles to take down tanks (disable them with one hit) but it's still very tough. You'd think that a plane would always know where tanks and vehicles are...you know, heat sensing targeting systems? I feel like both the normal mode and hardcore modes are missing stuff.

Overall I like hardcore better, sometimes i move onto normal mode just to quickly unlock stuff but the game feels much more complete in hardcore.

If you shoot someone, even if you don't kill them, you feel like you accomplished something because unless that guy is a medic, he will likely die quicker (mostly no one heals u in hardcore mode). Same with vehicles, they don't heal themselves over time.
